Legend

this creature, native to the planet Freliq, has been at the center of a debate ever since its discovery some twenty years before the Battle of Yavin. These one-meter-tall rodents seem to possess a limited form of sentience, and most natives of Freliq swear that there is an innate intelligence in the eyes of a lepusa. Xeonibiologists from other planets claim this is more sentiment and science, and that the lepusa is simply vermin. Large numbers of lepusa were originally killed when the planet was first colonized, but over time the settlers became aware of the lepusa's talents. They live in groups of 70 to 100 individuals, and seem to have a crude social order to their groupings. They were herbivorous, and ate the crops of the original colonists before "learning" that those plantings were off-limits.
